Money Quote: 'Starting with a "forest" of nanotubes chemically grown in a drum, the research team devised a method to spin carbon nanotube sheets at a rate of more than seven yards per minute.' I'd done some digging at the time, (see http://the-edge.blogspot.com/2005/08/diamond-age.html ) "The actual tested material, 18 sheets thick, had a strength of 465MPa/(g/cm^3). High strength steel is listed 125 MPa/(g/cm^3)). " - I can't find where I got that from at the moment. I was kind of wondering tonight how much further they'd got in the last 7 years, and was bemused to see they were working on an innovative supercap design, among *many* cool other things. http://nanotech.utdallas.edu/research/index.html But everything still seems dated 2005. --=20 Dave T=E4ht SKYPE: davetaht US Tel: 1-239-829-5608 http://www.bufferbloat.net
